Sean Longstaff says that Newcastle United players refused to pose for the now traditional dressing room photograph until Joelinton had been roared back from the Carrow Road pitch on Saturday.
The two-goal Brazilian star paved the way for an emphatic 3-0 victory at Norwich before being serenaded from the field on his 100th appearance from supporters who had made the 510 mile round trip. But the roar from the United players could be heard from the nearby interview mixed zone at the Canaries' stadium.
Looking back on the moment for Joelinton, Longstaff told Chronicle Live: "I’m so happy for him and he deserves it. The way he’s been this season since he’s changed his role, and then to go a little further forward and show how effective he can be there.
